For anyone who didn’t play it, the big Chapter 2 confirmed
the long-suspected theory that Fortnite’s masked The Foundation character – who
recently resurfaced in a Batman tie-in comic – is actually Dwayne Johnson. As
the Cube Queen’s army attacked, The Rock won the day by, well, dropping the
entire Fortnite island on her. The new island will be the underside of the
former one.
There have already been numerous leaks about Chapter 3,
including the reveal that Spider-Man will play a big part in both the new
season and the Battle Pass – and there will even be Gears of War characters to
get, too, and maybe even a The Matrix collaboration.
The Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 release time is December 5
at 7 am PST / 10 am EST / 3 pm GMT. This is significantly earlier than
previously thought and means that the new chapter will start in just a few
hours, on the weekend no less.
Two of the biggest gameplay changes coming to Fortnite Chapter 3 are sliding and web-swinging.
The sliding mechanic looks pretty similar to what you'd see in Apex Legends, great for traversing down hills and minimizing your hitbox.
Starting on December 11, players will also be able to swing high in the sky using Spider-Man's web-swinging gloves, which can be acquired like other items around the map. Not sure how rare those will be just yet, but depending on how quickly you can swing around, they could be a major meta changer.
So that's at least two new movement mechanics coming in Chapter 3. There's also a campsite, where players can apparently heal up and store items between matches.
Oh, and it seems like trees fall down instead of disappearing when they get chopped down. So that's nice.
One big change is that players will have more ways to earn battle pass XP outside of the battle royale mode. Typically, if you wanted to earn battle pass stars/XP, you were restricted to playing in one of the normal battle royale modes, or the 50 vs. 50 Team Rumble. Presumably, this means you can earn XP in alternate modes like Creative and LTMs. That will be great for players who want to earn higher-level skins, but don't have the interest or skill for intensely competitive multiplayer stuff.
Here's some additional gameplay changes in Fortnite Chapter
3:
- New weapons and tools, including a Slurp Juice sprinkler that you can deploy around your teammates.
- Some sort of "Victory Crown" that players can earn and possibly keep between matches.
- "Guzzle Juice"
- Wildlife animals return once again, including sharks, wolves, chickens, toads, boars, and crows.
- The Quadcrusher ATV returns.
- "Medmist Assist" healing item.
Above you'll see the official mini-map for Fortnite Chapter 3. As you can see, the number of biomes has been significantly diversified. Much like Chapter 1's later seasons, we actually have strictly defined regions with snow, sand, or greenery. In fact, probably because Chapter 3 is launching in December, just as the holidays ramp up, most of the map is in fact covered in snow and bushes are adorned in Christmas lights.
Here's the key POIs you'll want to know:
- Camp Cuddle
- Logjam Lumberyard
- Shifty Shafts
- Sleepy Sound
- Coney Crossroads
- The Daily Bugle building
- Sanctuary
- The Joneses
- Condo Canyon
- Chonker's Speedway
- Rocky Reels
- Greasy Groves
